"The first paranormal of the new Tempting fate series is sure to please"
Fantasy and romance are sure to be found in the heat of
summer, with the caress of an ocean breeze at one's back. Jayden Parrish has let her personal needs take a backseat
to the needs of her beloved grandmother who had done so
much for her. When Theresa, her grandmother, called one
night to warn her to stay indoors, or risk becoming prey to
the Demon Wind, a superstition long held in their beach
town, Jayden doesn't put much stock in it, figuring it to
be another needless worry. Never once did she expect to
find herself on the beach at midnight, making passionate
love to a stranger, while surrounded by a cool breeze in an
otherwise still night. Even less did she expect that her
mysterious lover would be Tyce Cantrell, her grandmother's
new doctor. After the shock wears off, Tyce and Jayden
decide to investigate what happened to them, and follow the
leads to an elderly woman in town who knows the truth
behind the superstition. Ms. Wilde has once again proven her undeniable talent for
weaving beautiful erotic love stories in Demon Wind, the
first story in her new TEMPTAING FATE collection. There is
only one passionate encounter, found early on in the story,
but it sets the tone for what is to come. Jayden and Tyce
are soul mates, meant to be together, though they never met
before that one life-altering night. The romance that
follows, though initially shocking to both parties, is
undeniable, and readers will love to see what unfolds, and
will be very happy at how it turns out. There is also a beautiful legend woven into the tale, of
star-crossed lovers who defy time and space to find the
love denied them. Though their part in the story may seem
minimal, as they only make an appearance a couple times,
without them, there would be no story to tell. The
resolution of their sub-plot is well done, making one feel
for, and with, them. Readers, be they new or old fans, will find an emotionally
satisfying and scintillating story in the pages of this
book. This reviewer, as always, thoroughly enjoyed her
foray into TEMPTING FATE, and eagerly anticipates the next
fantasy from the pen of Kay Wilde. © Kelley A. Hartsell, August 2004. All rights reserved.
